New Delhi, August 4
In what is a significant step towards making military equipment within India, the indigenously made sea-going aircraft carrier the INS Vikrant, on Wednesday, set out on its maiden sea trial.
The 44,000 tonne ‘indigenous aircraft carrier (IAC)’ is being made at the state-owned Cochin shipyard at Kochi, Kerala.
The aviation complex will be tested using the Russian MiG 29K jets that will use its deck to take off and land.
The carrier is expected to be completely operational by 2022.
This will happen in the backdrop of the India-China race to expand their Naval strength. China has two operational and two under-construction aircraft carriers, and plans half a dozen carriers by 2030.
